US Ambassador Calls Israeli Settlers "Terrorists" After Days-Long Siege of Palestinian Homes in West Bank
Israeli settlers besieged three Palestinian homes in the West Bank village of Qusra for five nights, cutting water and electricity as food supplies dwindled inside. On Thursday, US Ambassador Mike Huckabee called the perpetrators "Israeli terrorists," a word American officials usually reserve for Palestinian militants and a striking rebuke from one of the settlement movement's longtime supporters.
